Leahy to perform Canadian folk music
at BYU-Idaho
One of Canada's top performing groups, Leahy, will perform in concert at Brigham Young University-Idaho Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Hart Auditorium.
The popular folk group of four brothers and four sisters grew up playing the fiddle, dancing and singing together on their family farm in Lakefield, Ontario.
Leahy has received Canadian Juno Awards for Best New Group, Best Country Group and Best Instrumental Album.
Winter 2007 saw them release their first-ever live DVD and CD and PBS audiences are currently watching Leahy's third television special. They are also in the midst of working on their second DVD and live CD, which are to be released in 2008.
On their recent American tour, new audiences learned that this family of instrumentalists, singers and dancers brings a rare level of originality and musicianship to the stage. This originality includes music that Leahy writes, arranges and produces.
Tickets to Leahy are $12 for general public and $5 for BYU-Idaho students and can be purchased at the Kimball ticket office or online at www.byui.edu/tickets.
